This document defines pollution and describes its various types and health effects. Pollution is introduced harmful materials into the environment, which can be natural or created by human activity. Exposure to air pollution affects everyone's health and can cause respiratory issues, cancer, and premature death. The main types of pollution are air, water, soil, and noise pollution, each of which is defined and their effects described.

2. WHAT IS POLLUTION?
POLLUTION IS THE INTRODUCTION OF HARMFUL MATERIALS INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT. THESE HARMFUL MATERIALS ARE CALLED POLLUTANTS.
POLLUTANTS CAN BE NATURAL, SUCH AS VOLCANIC ASH. THEY CAN
ALSO BE CREATED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY, SUCH AS TRASH OR RUNOFF
PRODUCED BY FACTORIES.

3. DRAWBACK OF POLLUTION
EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTION CAN AFFECT EVERYONE'S
HEALTH. WHEN WE BREATHE IN AIR POLLUTANTS, THEY CAN
ENTER OUR BLOODSTREAM AND CONTRIBUTE TO COUGHING
OR ITCHY EYES AND CAUSE OR WORSEN MANY BREATHING
AND LUNG DISEASES, LEADING TO HOSPITALIZATIONS,
CANCER, OR EVEN PREMATURE DEATH.
IN ADDITION, LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTION CAN
CAUSE CANCER AND DAMAGE TO THE IMMUNE,
NEUROLOGICAL, REPRODUCTIVE, AND RESPIRATORY
SYSTEMS. IN EXTREME CASES, IT CAN EVEN CAUSE DEATH.
LONG-TERM HEALTH EFFECTS FROM AIR POLLUTION
INCLUDE HEART DISEASE, LUNG CANCER, AND RESPIRATORY
DISEASES SUCH AS EMPHYSEMA. AIR POLLUTION CAN ALSO
CAUSE LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO PEOPLE'S NERVES, BRAIN,
KIDNEYS, LIVER, AND OTHER ORGANS. SOME SCIENTISTS
SUSPECT AIR POLLUTANTS CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS
Health Side Effects
 Heart disease
 Wheezing
 Coughing
 Respiratory problem
 Skin and nose
irritation
 Respiratory
complications

 WATER POLLUTION
 SOIL POLLUTION
 NOISE POLLUTION

5.  AIR POLLUTION
AIR POLLUTION IS A MIXTURE OF SOLID PARTICLES AND GASES IN THE AIR. CAR
EMISSIONS, CHEMICALS FROM FACTORIES, DUST, POLLEN AND MOLD SPORES MAY
BE SUSPENDED AS PARTICLES. OZONE, A GAS, IS A MAJOR PART OF AIR POLLUTION
IN CITIES. WHEN OZONE FORMS AIR POLLUTION, IT'S ALSO CALLED SMOG.

6.  WATER POLLUTION
WATER POLLUTION IS THE CONTAMINATION OF WATER SOURCES BY
SUBSTANCES WHICH MAKE THE WATER UNUSABLE FOR DRINKING,
COOKING, CLEANING, SWIMMING, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. POLLUTANTS
INCLUDE CHEMICALS, TRASH, BACTERIA, AND PARASITES. ALL FORMS OF
POLLUTION EVENTUALLY MAKE THEIR WAY TO WATER.

7.  SOIL POLLUTION
Soil contamination, soil pollution, or land pollution as a part of
land degradation is caused by the presence of xenobiotic
(human-made) chemicals or other alteration in the
natural soil environment. It is typically caused by industrial
activity, agricultural chemicals or improper disposal of waste.

8.  NOISE POLLUTION

Noise pollution impacts millions of people on a daily basis. The most
common health problem it causes is Noise Induced Hearing Loss
(NIHL). Exposure to loud noise can also cause high blood pressure,
heart disease, sleep disturbances, and stress. These health problems
can affect all age groups, especially children.

9. SUMMARY
THE AMOUNT OF POLLUTION HAS AFFECTED THE PROTECTED
WILDLIFE AREAS AND PARKS. POLLUTED RIVERS ARE KILLING
THE WILDLIFE, AND ANIMALS ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THE
HEAVY AMOUNTS OF POLLUTION. A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN 'T
PROPERLY RECYCLING THEIR WASTE AND THAT AFFECTS THE
ENVIRONMENT, AND THE WILDLIFE LIVING IN IT, GREATLY.
